Handling odd hours, overnights, and weekend shoots
We operate on production time, not bank time. If your wrap is scheduled for 4:00 AM on a Saturday, our crews are waiting at the dock. We handle split shifts, night shoots, and weekend load-ins without exorbitant overtime penalties.
That gives your Unit Production Manager budget certainty and logistical peace of mind.
Hot shot courier runs
A prop breaks. A costume doesn't fit. You need a replacement now. We offer dedicated hot shot courier services. We can pick up an item from a prop house in North Hollywood and sprint it to a location in Santa Clarita immediately.
We are the fixers for your logistical emergencies.
Moving Sets, Props, and Grip & Electric
Moving a couch for a living room is different than moving a breakaway couch for a stunt scene. We know the difference.
Transporting rolling carts, C-stands, and HMI lights
Our trucks are equipped with lift gates and E-track specifically designed to secure Grip & Electric (G&E) carts. We understand how to strap down taco carts, muscle carts, and fragile HMI lighting fixtures so they don't shift during transit.
We treat your rental gear with care to prevent loss and damage claims from rental houses.
Handling high-value hero props and set decoration
Set dressing and hero props are often irreplaceable antiques or custom fabrications. We use blanket-wrap protocols and custom crating for these items.
Our crews are trained to handle art department assets with white-glove care, ensuring the continuity of the scene remains intact.
Production Storage and Asset Management
Between seasons or during hiatus, you need a safe place for assets.
Climate-controlled storage for costumes and wigs
We provide climate-controlled storage in Simi Valley for sensitive wardrobe, prosthetics, and wigs. Keeping these items at stable humidity and temperature prevents mold and degradation, saving the production money on replacements next season.
Between-seasons set storage and inventory
We store entire dismantled sets: flats, walls, flooring. We barcode every component, creating a digital inventory accessible by your Art Director.
When season two gets greenlit, you check the boxes you need and we deliver them back to the stage.
You rebuild the set from the inventory, not from scratch.
For longer holds or overflow beyond a production cycle, see our commercial storage options.
Confidentiality and Security Protocols
What we move, and where we move it from, stays between us and the production.
NDAs and anti-paparazzi measures
Every Presto Logistics employee signs a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). We enforce a no cell phone policy when on set. Whatever is in the truck, our crews maintain full discretion.
We use unmarked trucks upon request to avoid tipping off paparazzi or fans about a location shoot.
Secure chain of custody for unreleased content
We transport dailies, hard drives, and physical scripts with a documented chain of custody. The cargo is locked, sealed, and tracked via GPS from the moment it leaves your hands until it reaches the post-production house or studio vault.
A Crew That Works Production Hours
- Transportation services since
- 2007
- Vetted employees
- 30+
Presto Logistics has run out of Simi Valley since 2007, minutes from the movie ranches and a short run from the Burbank and North Hollywood stages.
The crew is ours. No day labor, no unknown subcontractors turning up at a locked stage door at four in the morning. Everyone who arrives has signed the NDA and knows what a closed set means.
For production offices moving between facilities, see commercial relocations. For a set build that needs equipment rigged into place, see industrial relocation.
Soundstages, Movie Ranches, and Locations Across the Zone
Film, television, and commercial shoots across Los Angeles, Santa Clarita, and the San Fernando Valley.
Burbank and North Hollywood stages, the Santa Clarita and Simi Valley ranches, and locations anywhere inside the zone. Our base sits between the Valley stages and the ranch country, which is why a 4:00 AM call is a short run rather than a gamble.

Frequently Asked Questions About Studio Logistics
Something not covered? Call 888-678-6151 at any hour.
Do you offer 24/7 service?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We accommodate night shoots, early calls, and weekend wraps without issue.
Can you move rented production equipment?
Yes. Our trucks carry lift gates and E-track sized for grip and electric carts, and our crews know how to strap taco carts, muscle carts, and HMI fixtures so nothing shifts in transit. Rental gear is handled to avoid loss and damage claims from the rental house, because that bill lands on your production, not on us.
How do you handle confidentiality?
Every Presto employee signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and we enforce a no cell phone policy on set. Unmarked trucks are available on request so a location shoot is not advertised to anyone watching. Dailies, drives, and physical scripts move under a documented chain of custody, sealed and GPS-tracked to the post house or vault.
